Based ass response. I honestly had no clue about that neighborhood point. I’m honestly shocked and thankful you explained that.
A dude got caught making bomb threats at Harvard because he was the only one in his university that connected to TOR and they knew from the entry node it had to be from that area. They checked the logs and only one PC had directly connected to the TOR network from that area at that time. The guy wanted more time to study.
He could've easily avoided that by simply connecting through public coffee shop wifi instead of being a dumbass...
